Rinsing was:Re: What's the best Carbon boom going now?

Paul Braunbehrens 23 May 2005 23:58:26
 I always rinse all my gear after I am done sailing. The way I do it is
really simple. After I'm done sailing, I derig and pack everything
into the van. Then, a few days later, I drive somewhere where there is
water (and wind), rig everything back up, and put it in the water.
This has worked really well for me. ;-)­

 It is a well known fact that rinsing just reduces you TOW for no good
reason.

I guess it's time to "come clean"...
I'm a rinser...and I'm married to a rinser...pretty much makes us
rinsers, I reckon...as soon as it is dried, it seems it's time to dip it
in salt water again...prolly doesn't much affect the life of the gear...
I've seen folks just wad their stuff up in the back of a truck until
next use...wetsuits and all...yuck!...we constantly flip our
stuff...but, rinsing sure makes it less problematic to use...so, in
effect, it actually increases our TOW...no stuck parts and sandpapered
gear...and I can see through my windows on the wave face...

 "Do not feel the need to rinse your sail with fresh water. Most urban
water has mineral deposits that dry as white spots on the sail and are
difficult to remove without scratching the sail. Salt water will leave
a slight film but will never adhere to the monofilm."

Hot Sails MicroFreak/MicroSO instructions (just received from no other
than rinser Wardog :-]).

Plus, not rinsing is more environmentally friendly.

of mud)

And in many cases can cause more harm than good. I try not to handle
my unrigged sails any more than I have to. I see many people unrig in
the water while the waves come crashing in and toss the unrolled
remainderl all over the place.

That does seem an easier than rinsing everything individually, but how
does the van cope with being put in the water?
